Thank you, Madam Chair. I received a number of communications and a letter from the regional leadership in the Sahtu sharing their frustrations of the announcement made to close the learning centres. And I don't see a need -- I will support this motion. I don't see a need to give money to an operation that's going to shut their doors. But as previous colleagues have said, come back with a plan and we'll reinstate that funding. There's different conventions and different options to appropriate that money there. But ultimately, there was a plan that was drafted to keep the doors open in these learning centres but it wasn't executed. It was drafted by the Aurora College last August. But that plan never went any place. It was only -- it was hidden to provide a demonstration that we only got 21 students, 19 students, so I don't see any value in these learning centres. No, we have talked numerous times on the customer base for trades training. And I'm excited to support and use any avenues available to improve on our skills trades in preparation for the Fort Good Hope construction centre who is going to be taking the initiative to address a crisis we have. We need more homes. This building will build more homes. But certainly it needs skilled tradespeople to be in compliance with the national building codes.

So I'm willing to share this plan that we have researched, and maybe that plan could be resubmitted to reinstate the funds. But as of now, we're not concluded on the budget yet. We're just deferring it with the information at hand which gives us the option to support the motion for withholding the operations of these community learning centres. So as said there, Madam Chair, I'll be supporting this motion. Mahsi.
